Two new signings!23 August 2006Albion have finally added another striker to their squad with the signing of Kevin Phillips from Aston Villa for ?700,000. Phillips joined Villa from Southampton a couple of years ago, but has spent most of his career at Sunderland, who were sounding like favourites to take him back again. Thanks to Tony Fudger for digging out his full history and scoring record: 94-95 Watford 9 Goals, 16 Games 95-96 Watford 11 Goals, 27 Games 96-97 Watford 4 Goals, 16 Games 97-98 Sunderland 29 Goals, 43 Games 98-99 Sunderland 23 Goals, 26 Games 99-00 Sunderland 30 Goals, 36 Games 00-01 Sunderland 14 Goals, 34 Games 01-02 Sunderland 11 Goals, 36 Games 02-03 Sunderland 6 Goals, 32 Games 03-04 Southampton 13 Goals, 34 Games 04-05 Southampton 10 Goals, 30 Games 05-06 Aston Villa 4 Goals, 23 Games And the other signing? This one, frankly, had us gasping with astonishment. Midfielder Jason Koumas has signed a new three year deal with Albion, "ending months of speculation about his future", as the Official Web Site put it. Considering he's not even turned up for training yet this season, and hasn't been paid anything in wages as a result, it's a miracle he even turned up to sign the deal. The official site quotes him as saying "There's one club I want to play for, and that's West Brom." Where has the real Jason Koumas been buried? I think we should be told.
